King’s Casino of Rozvadov has become a hot spot for poker activity. Having already secured a deal to offer World Series of Poker and World Series of Poker Europe events, the casino continues to host events in the interim. Recently, the venue hosted the 2017 PokerNews Cup Rozvadov which included a €250 Main Event. A total of 617 players competed in the event with Holger Bansner outlasting the field and claiming the title.

During the event, the tournament would wind down to the final four players and an ICM deal would be cut, according to a play by play at PokerNews.com. With the deal, €8,000 would remain for the winner as well as the trophy from the event. Once it got down to Bansner and Timur Caglan in heads-up play, another deal was cut which left just €2,000 for the winner.

When heads-up play began, Caglan and Bansner would be almost even in chips. They would decide to make a second deal and Caglan would quickly gain a lead over his opponent. However, Bansner would double up and eventually earn the first place win, after his suited King-Queen pulled a top pair against Caglan, whose King-High flush draw never finished out.

Top software provider RealTime Gaming has announced they have prepared a new slot game for online casino visitors to enjoy based on the upcoming holiday season.

With the wild substitutions, free spins are provided and you can then go on the hunt for the hidden robbers two of which will be found on each reel.

When three Scatter symbols are found on the reels, you will be able to pick one robber per reel. If you have four or five Scatters on the reels, then you will be able to make two choices per reel.

On the morning of September 29, the Edgewater Casino at False Creek will close its doors for good, while on the same day, on the west side of BC Stadium just across the street, the new Parq Vancouver will open its doors to the public for the first time, according to the Daily Hive.

In late August 2006, a B.C. Supreme Court judge approved a $42 million deal to sell the Edgewater Casino to the Las Vegas-based Paragon Gaming Inc. ensuring the continued operation of the downtown-Vancouver facility in Enterprise Hall within the Plaza of Nations. Up until May of 2006, Edgewater Casino Inc. had been in bankruptcy protection as a result of debts totaling $29 million it incurred since it opened in February 2005, at its Plaza of Nations location.

Paragon purchased the temporary casino with the intent that a new purpose-built facility would be constructed downtown. The staff will relocate from its Plaza of Nations location to Paragon’s new complex when the Edgewater Casino closes, according to the Vancouver news agency. Prior to the Edgewater Casino moving into the space, Enterprise Hall had been used for many years for concerts, conventions, meetings and other special events.

The purpose-built casino space at Parq Vancouver is 72,000 square feet, two times the size of the 36,000 square feet of Edgewater Casino’s gaming floor in Enterprise Hall, reports the Daily Hive. However, the larger casino floor will not mean an increase in games, as Parq Vancouver will assume Edgewater’s existing gaming license, which per a stipulation of approval of the new casino by the City of Vancouver in 2013, is for 75 table games and 600 slot machines.

The Parq Vancouver, however, features 11 exclusive salons where guests can enjoy a private gaming experience including in-Salon or lounge dining, restrooms, casino cage and full-service VIP hosts and a poker room. The potential exists for the new casino to expand the number of games it offers in the future, as the original application called for 150 table games and 1,500 slot machines within the same 72,000 square feet of gaming space.

It is not yet known what purpose Enterprise Hall will serve until the Plaza of Nations is leveled for a planned mixed-use redevelopment project.

In addition to a new entertainment district complete with restaurants, bars, bistros and craft breweries, the proposed redevelopment reportedly includes thousands of residential units, large plazas, a practice ice rink for the Vancouver Canucks that serves a dual purpose as a public ice skating rink when not being used by the team and an extension of the seawall.

The rebuy period will close at 9:45 pm and at that time, a one-time fee can be paid to add more chips to a player’s stack. $500 will give a player 10,000 in additional chips while $1,000 will offer 25,000 and $1,500 will provide 50,000 more chips.

According to PokerNews, players competing in the poker tournament will be vying for valuable prizes. The top finisher will of course earn bragging rights, but will also be provided a seat to the 2018 World Series of Poker Main Event. Second place will earn a Mexican Riviera Cruise for two with an ocean view balcony room for seven nights, valued at $2,500. Third place will be provided a two night stay at the Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa in a one bedroom luxury suite with dinner provided by the T-Bones Chop House for two, a value of $1,500.

Everyone participating in the event will be donating their money to a good cause. St. Jude will use the proceeds from the event to help families that come to St. Jude for treatment will never receive a bill for what they need, be it housing, food, travel or treatment.

Despite suffering through Typhoon Hato and the comparably weaker tropical storm Pakhar, the over 30 casinos in Macau reportedly saw their aggregated gross gaming revenues for August increase by 20.4% year-on-year to reach just over $2.81 billion.

According to a report from GGRAsia citing official figures from the former Portuguese enclave’s Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau regulator, the rise represented a 13th consecutive monthly improvement but was lower than the 24% that had been widely predicted before the inclement weather struck.

Grant Govertsen from brokerage firm Union Gaming Securities Asia Limited reportedly told GGRAsia that Macau’s aggregated gross gaming revenues for August had been “nicely above [a] recently revised consensus of plus-18%” with the industry recording a 19.1% swell year-on-year in combined takings since the start of January to approximately $21.34 billion.

“As we noted last week in our series of on-the-ground notes post-typhoon, we believed that trends were returning to normal quite quickly and still expected a growth rate of over 20% for the month,” Govertsen told GGRAsia. “We further expect September to be in the high teens. All in, the third quarter 2017 growth rate could shake out to be broadly in line with the second quarter growth rate in the low 20% range.”

The Rivers Casino in Schenectady, New York recently played host to a Poker Night in America competition known as King of the Hill. Top poker pros were on hand to compete in the event, which was streamed on Twitch for fans and fellow players to enjoy from home. Included in the mix was Phil Hellmuth, Doug Polk, Daniel Cates and Frank Kassela. In the end, it was Hellmuth who earned the win after duking it out with Cates in the final heads-up matchup.

On Tuesday, Daniel Cates would take on Frank Kassela while Doug Polk would take on Hellmuth. It would take just a short time before Cates and Hellmuth would be the last two standing and have to go head to head to see who the champion would be.

On Wednesday, the two began competing in a best of three format, as reported by Pokernews.com. each player was given $100,000 in chips but the winner would take all. Blinds began at $50/$100 with levels increasing every 20 minutes. The first round would go to Hellmuth while Cates would take the second. This left the third round being the deciding factor as to who would be the ultimate King of the Hill.

The final match began later in the evening and it was certainly something to watch. Cates would take a commanding lead, which would leave Hellmuth down 7 to 1 in chips. Just a short time later and Hellmuth was down to a 34 to 1 chip deficit. Despite being down and seemingly out, Hellmuth was not ready to give up. He won a hand then another, and it wouldn’t take long before the lead Cates had previously held began to get smaller and smaller.

In the end, Hellmuth would have a 4 to 1 chip lead and the final hand would go down. Cates would move all in with K-Q off suit. Hellmuth would be in as well with A-6. The board ran in Hellmuth’s favor and the event would end after the seasoned poker pro made an amazing comeback.

In May 2018, CoinGeek.com, sister site of CalvinAyre.com, will host the first CoinGeek.com bComm Conference. The focus of the Bitcoin conference will be what massive on-chain scaling contained on one public blockchain will look like.

Bitcoin and blockchain technology are constantly changing. As the online gambling industry is a driver of the Bitcoin economy and an early user of Bitcoin, they must remain aware of the major shifts occurring within blockchain and Bitcoin technology. Bitcoin has demonstrated its effectiveness as a tool for gambling sites to be able to offer reliable services to consumers, particularly where local governments have prevented online gambling operators access via blocking domains or targeting access of traditional payment processing methods used by operators.

The central theme of the 2018 conference will be to affirm that Bitcoin Cash (BBC) is the true form of Bitcoin as intended by Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. Bitcoin Cash or BCC was the only version designed by Nakamoto to work towards effect bComm. With BCC technology seeing an expansion in block size, operators are now enabled to process customer transactions faster and with much lower transaction fees.

Set to be the first-ever international gathering to focus on the union of Bitcoin commerce (bComm) and electronic commerce (eComm),  the cryptocurrency-focused site will hold the CoinGeek bComm conference in Hong Kong on the 18th of May next year. The conference kicks off just one day after Global Gaming Expo (G2E) Asia wraps up in Macau and precedes by one week the 57th birthday of Calvin Ayre, founder of Calvin Ayre Media Group. The cryptocurrency-centric conference also coincides with the eight-year anniversary of CalvinAyre.com’s official launch, according to CoinGeek.com.

The Canadian-born Ayre will host the conference’s official party, which will also feature the Geek Girls, and promises to be what the site boasts, the “Party of the Century.” Individuals must attend the conference to gain access to the CoinGeek bash.

Keynote speaker during the conference will be Dr. Craig Wright, chief scientist of nChain, a blockchain technology research and development firm. Wright is also a pioneer in the creation of Bitcoin and blockchain. Additional speakers of the event include Roger Ver of Bitcoin.com.
